I went around Ringling and Sarasota Bayfront Park and gathered rocks. I photographed these rocks and wrote down their differences/categories. I was reading How to be a graphic designer without losing your soul, and found a couple connections between the differences in the rocks and cultural awareness. Some of the statements that stuck out to me are:

"Politics
Entertainment
Business
Technology
Art
Ten-Pin Bowling
Mud Wrestling"

"cues and puns and symbols and allusions"

"Cultural awareness is vital for the modern designer"
